What Is Mobile Broadband?

Mobile broadband (known as 3G broadband) enables you to surf the Internet at broadband speeds on your laptop from wherever you have a fast mobile broadband connection. With good UK coverage, this means you can use your laptop to surf the web or check your emails from wherever you want as opposed to fixed line home broadband or the various wireless hotspots available in hotels & cafes.

How Does Mobile Broadband Work?

Mobile Broadband works by connecting your laptop to a 3G mobile network using a USB modem (known as a Dongle) or USB stick supplied by the mobile broadband provider. The 3G networks offered by the likes of T-Mobile, Vodafone, 3 and Orange can typically offer fast mobile broadband speeds ranging from 3.6Mb to 7.2Mb, making it comparable with your normal home broadband connection.
